The growth of solar energy continues to outpace forecasts and this growth, according to a report published today by the International Energy Agency, “is a China story.”
While China today is far and away the global leader in solar generation, a decade ago, the country had just 100 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed. That’s nothing. For reference, it’s actually less than is currently installed in the city of San Antonio. By the end of 2016, China had increased its solar PV capacity by nearly 800 times, with more than 77 gigawatts currently installed.
China’s solar dominance is only going to keep growing, according to the IEA report. As Dr. Paolo Frankl, one of the lead authors on the report, said on a call to reporters, “In one year, China will install the equivalent of the total history of solar development in Germany.”
The stunning growth trajectories reflected in the IEA report show how quickly the transition to renewables can surge when aggressive policies cut through the barriers to growth.
The Renewables 2017 report takes a deep dive into renewable energy deployment across all industries and throughout the world, but the dominance of solar PV stands out. As a whole, renewables represented nearly two-thirds of new electricity capacity additions last year, far outshining coal and natural gas growth. For the very first time, solar PV additions grew faster than any other resource, surpassing coal growth.

WASHINGTON — America’s growing reliance on solar power may have created a new enemy for environmentalists — a greenhouse gas that’s thousands of times more potent than CO2.
According to data recently released by the U.S.Environmental
Protection Agency, carbon dioxide makes up 82 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The gas nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, accounts for only a small margin, but is on the rise.
Overall emissions fell by 2.2 percent, and CO2 has risen only 5.6 percent from 1990 to 2015. Levels of NF3, however, have seen a 1,057 percent increase over those same 25 years.
This exponential rise has been linked to the manufacturing sector, which uses the chemical to make solar panels, semiconductors and LCDs.
NF3 is mainly used as a cleaning agent to clear away excess silicone. The gas is mostly eliminated during use, but a small percentage is reportedly leaked into the atmosphere.
It’s unclear exactly how much has been leaked, but scientists warn that NF3 is highly effective at trapping heat, and can remain in the atmosphere for up to 740 years.
Scientists warn that NF3, when combined with CO2 and other greenhouse gases, could lead to a climate problem, especially with the emissions rising not only in the U.S., but in growing solar markets in Asia as well.
With carbon dioxide proving difficult to limit, environmentalists could soon target NF3 in their quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Is there an effective and economical way to consume energy? Watch to find out how rooftop solar is a one-stop solution to many of the global problems.

Mass production

Global Solar Energy opened in 1996, and in 2008 finished another phase of development as it expanded its CIGS production to a new 40 MW facility in Tucson, Arizona and a second 35 MW facility in Berlin, Germany.

The company expects to produce 20 megawatts of the films at the plant in 2008 before ramping up to 40 megawatts of capacity in 2009 and 140 megawatts by 2010. This makes Global Solar the largest full-scale manufacturer of CIGS thin-film photovoltaics.

Siem Reap

Siem Reap has colonial and Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter, and around the Old Market. In the city, there are museums, traditional Apsara dance performances, a Cambodian cultural village, souvenir and handycraft shops, silk farms, rice-paddies in the countryside, fishing villages and a bird sanctuary near the Tonle Sap Lake.

Siem Reap today—being a popular tourist destination—has a large number of hotels, resorts, restaurants and businesses closely related to tourism. This is much owed to its proximity to the Angkor temples, the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia.

History

The name "Siem Reap" can be translated to mean "Defeat of Siam" (siem in Khmer), and is commonly taken as a reference to an incident in the centuries-old conflict between the Siamese and Khmer kingdoms, although this is probably apocryphal. According to oral tradition, King Ang Chan (1516–1566) had named the town "Siem Reap", meaning "the defeat of Siam", after he repulsed an army sent to invade Cambodia by the Thai King Maha Chakkraphat in 1549. However, scholars consider this derivation to be simply a modern folk etymology, and maintain that the actual origin of the name is unknown.

Middle school

A middle school (also known as intermediate school or junior high school) is a school for students older than elementary school, but not yet in high school. The ages covered varies between, and sometimes within, countries.

Inside roll-to-roll CIGS thin film manufacturing with Global Solar

Inside roll-to-roll CIGS thin film manufacturing with Global Solar

Inside roll-to-roll CIGS thin film manufacturing with Global Solar

Global Solar has developed a proprietary process for manufacturing thin-film copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) PV cells and modules. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells that are rigid and fragile, Global Solar's steel-foil thin-film cells are lightweight and durable and can be integrated into both flexible and glass modules. The company's unique roll-to-roll fabrication process, now in volume production ramp, has garnered a great deal of interest and curiosity. While other companies deposit CIGS on glass substrates, Global Solar may be the only company with CIGS on flexible materials in actual production.
CIGS has a higher conversion efficiency than other thin-film PV materials and has the potential to deliver more electricity at a lower cost per watt. The material can also be integrated in a variety of form factors, from small PV chargers to building-integrated systems and large solar farms.
Tim Teich, VP at Global Solar, talks about the benefits of the roll-to-roll manufacturing process and the company's plans for the future. Global Solar is following an ambitious roadmap to achieve 13% efficiency from its modules within the next few years and to reach 170 MW of CIGS production capacity by 2010 at its main factory in Tucson, AZ, and new site in Berlin.

Volunteers from across the PV industry and beyond—Elemental Energy, GlobalGridProject, GreenEmpowerment, HDREngineering, ImagineEnergy, IronRidge, Portland State University, SunPower, Wanderlust and Verizon—recently returned home from Cambodia after volunteering their expertise to install a 26kW off-grid PV system on the Stephen Mazujian Middle School. This project is a part of our global electrification initiative, seeking to empower energy-deficient communities with renewable energy systems. Calling on the solar industry to unite behind this mission and le nd their collective skill-sets and resources, volunteers are rewarded with the experience of commissioning an off-grid PV system in an international setting, alongside the community.
---
Cambodia has one of the lowest electrification rates in SE Asia with an estimated 6.9 million people living without access to electricity. Where the grid is inaccessible or unreliable, households are forced to rely on expensive car batteries or pollutant diesel generators as power sources—costing as much as $1/kWh (compared to an average of 12 cents in the U.S.). In an area like Siem Reap where over half of its residents are living on less than 43 cents (USD) per day, the high price of electricity is hindering widespread electrification.
Despite these stark statistics, Cambodia has an impressive sun resource—reports estimate the nation could average 8,100 megawatts of peak generation, yielding roughly 12,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year. In a country where nearly 85% of its population lives in rural areas, a decentralized source of power like solar PV is the perfect solution to providing electricity to all communities.
Recognizing both the dire need of the community and the tremendous potential for solar, Twende Solar set its sights on Siem Reap, Cambodia. Choosing to partner with the recently constructed Stephen Mazujian Middle School, Twende designed a 26kW off-grid PV system to power the expansion of the school’s academic offerings. Serving some of the poorest communities in Siem Reap, where the student drop-out rate can reach upwards of 60% by middle school, the Stephen Mazujian Middle School stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth of Siem Reap.
After ten months of planning and fundraising, fourteen volunteers joined Twende Solar for a week long installation on the Stephen Mazujian Middle School. Weathering near 100-degree days and sudden torrential rain, volunteers truly gave their blood, sweat and tears to ensure the system was complete by the first day of school. Following a rigorous installation, volunteers lent their expertise to teach students, teachers and curious community members about the benefits and function of solar energy. Seeking to inspire students to pursue STEM or renewable energy career paths, Twende developed a PV curriculum for students to continue engaging with the system long after the installation was complete.
Outfitted with SolarWorld modules, SunModo racking and mounting, Rolls Surrette batteries, and OutbackPower equipment, the system is projected to produce over 36,000 kWh of electricity annually. Armed with an abundant supply of clean, reliable energy the Stephen Mazujian Middle School will be able to power all of its current and future electricity needs—including the addition of a high school campus next door! Through an exchange of knowledge with community leaders, Twende Solar hopes this system will encourage the expansion of renewable energy throughout Siem Reap and the country.
We are incredibly grateful for our project partners and sponsors: Elemental Energy, OutBack Power, Rolls Surrette BatteryCompany, SolarWorld USA, SunModo, TrueSouth Solar, and of course our wonderful volunteers who donated their time, expertise and brawn to emPOWER the youth of Siem Reap!

WASHINGTON — America’s growing reliance on solar power may have created a new enemy for environmentalists — a greenhouse gas that’s thousands of times more potent than CO2.
According to data recently released by the U.S.Environmental
Protection Agency, carbon dioxide makes up 82 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The gas nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, accounts for only a small margin, but is on the rise.
Overall emissions fell by 2.2 percent, and CO2 has risen only 5.6 percent from 1990 to 2015. Levels of NF3, however, have seen a 1,057 percent increase over those same 25 years.
This exponential rise has been linked to the manufacturing sector, which uses the chemical to make solar panels, semiconductors and LCDs.
NF3 is mainly used as a cleaning agent to clear away excess silicone. The gas is mostly eliminated during use, but a small percentage is reportedly leaked into the atmosphere.
It’s unclear exactly how much has been leaked, but scientists warn that NF3 is highly effective at trapping heat, and can remain in the atmosphere for up to 740 years.
Scientists warn that NF3, when combined with CO2 and other greenhouse gases, could lead to a climate problem, especially with the emissions rising not only in the U.S., but in growing solar markets in Asia as well.
With carbon dioxide proving difficult to limit, environmentalists could soon target NF3 in their quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Overall emissions fell by 2.2 percent, and CO2 has risen only 5.6 percent from 1990 to 2015. Levels of NF3, however, have seen a 1,057 percent increase over those same 25 years.
This exponential rise has been linked to the manufacturing sector, which uses the chemical to make solar panels, semiconductors and LCDs.
NF3 is mainly used as a cleaning agent to clear away excess silicone. The gas is mostly eliminated during use, but a small percentage is reportedly leaked into the atmosphere.
It’s unclear exactly how much has been leaked, but scientists warn that NF3 is highly effective at trapping heat, and can remain in the atmosphere for up to 740 years.
Scientists warn that NF3, when combined with CO2 and other greenhouse gases, could lead to a climate problem, especially with the emissions rising not only in the U.S., but in growing solar markets in Asia as well.
With carbon dioxide proving difficult to limit, environmentalists could soon target NF3 in their quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Global Solar has developed a proprietary process for manufacturing thin-film copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) PV cells and modules. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells that are rigid and fragile, Global Solar's steel-foil thin-film cells are lightweight and durable and can be integrated into both flexible and glass modules. The company's unique roll-to-roll fabrication process, now in volume production ramp, has garnered a great deal of interest and curiosity. While other companies deposit CIGS on glass substrates, Global Solar may be the only company with CIGS on flexible materials in actual production.
CIGS has a higher conversion efficiency than other thin-film PV materials and has the potential to deliver more electricity at a lower cost per watt. The material can also be integrated in a variety of form factors, from small PV chargers to building-integrated systems and large solar farms.
Tim Teich, VP at Global Solar, talks about the benefits of the roll-to-roll manufacturing process and the company's plans for the future. Global Solar is following an ambitious roadmap to achieve 13% efficiency from its modules within the next few years and to reach 170 MW of CIGS production capacity by 2010 at its main factory in Tucson, AZ, and new site in Berlin.

Volunteers from across the PV industry and beyond—Elemental Energy, GlobalGridProject, GreenEmpowerment, HDREngineering, ImagineEnergy, IronRidge, Portland State University, SunPower, Wanderlust and Verizon—recently returned home from Cambodia after volunteering their expertise to install a 26kW off-grid PV system on the Stephen Mazujian Middle School. This project is a part of our global electrification initiative, seeking to empower energy-deficient communities with renewable energy systems. Calling on the solar industry to unite behind this mission and le nd their collective skill-sets and resources, volunteers are rewarded with the experience of commissioning an off-grid PV system in an international setting, alongside the community.
---
Cambodia has one of the lowest electrification rates in SE Asia with an estimated 6.9 million people living without access to electricity. Where the grid is inaccessible or unreliable, households are forced to rely on expensive car batteries or pollutant diesel generators as power sources—costing as much as $1/kWh (compared to an average of 12 cents in the U.S.). In an area like Siem Reap where over half of its residents are living on less than 43 cents (USD) per day, the high price of electricity is hindering widespread electrification.
Despite these stark statistics, Cambodia has an impressive sun resource—reports estimate the nation could average 8,100 megawatts of peak generation, yielding roughly 12,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year. In a country where nearly 85% of its population lives in rural areas, a decentralized source of power like solar PV is the perfect solution to providing electricity to all communities.
Recognizing both the dire need of the community and the tremendous potential for solar, Twende Solar set its sights on Siem Reap, Cambodia. Choosing to partner with the recently constructed Stephen Mazujian Middle School, Twende designed a 26kW off-grid PV system to power the expansion of the school’s academic offerings. Serving some of the poorest communities in Siem Reap, where the student drop-out rate can reach upwards of 60% by middle school, the Stephen Mazujian Middle School stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth of Siem Reap.
After ten months of planning and fundraising, fourteen volunteers joined Twende Solar for a week long installation on the Stephen Mazujian Middle School. Weathering near 100-degree days and sudden torrential rain, volunteers truly gave their blood, sweat and tears to ensure the system was complete by the first day of school. Following a rigorous installation, volunteers lent their expertise to teach students, teachers and curious community members about the benefits and function of solar energy. Seeking to inspire students to pursue STEM or renewable energy career paths, Twende developed a PV curriculum for students to continue engaging with the system long after the installation was complete.
Outfitted with SolarWorld modules, SunModo racking and mounting, Rolls Surrette batteries, and OutbackPower equipment, the system is projected to produce over 36,000 kWh of electricity annually. Armed with an abundant supply of clean, reliable energy the Stephen Mazujian Middle School will be able to power all of its current and future electricity needs—including the addition of a high school campus next door! Through an exchange of knowledge with community leaders, Twende Solar hopes this system will encourage the expansion of renewable energy throughout Siem Reap and the country.
We are incredibly grateful for our project partners and sponsors: Elemental Energy, OutBack Power, Rolls Surrette BatteryCompany, SolarWorld USA, SunModo, TrueSouth Solar, and of course our wonderful volunteers who donated their time, expertise and brawn to emPOWER the youth of Siem Reap!

Every hour the sun beams onto Earth more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun's energy and make it useable. Today, the technology produces less than one tenth of one percent of global energy demand.
Many people are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those found in computer chips. When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity.
On a much larger scale, solar thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source. The heat is then used to boil water to drive a steam turbine that generates electricity in much the same fashion as coal and nuclear power plants, supplying electricity for thousands of people.
In one technique, long troughs of U-shaped mirrors focus sunlight on a pipe of oil that runs through the middle. The hot oil then boils water for electricity generation. Another technique uses moveable mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a collector tower, where a receiver sits. Molten salt flowing through the receiver is heated to run a generator.
Other solar technologies are passive. For example, big windows placed on the sunny side of a building allow sunlight to heat-absorbent materials on the floor and walls. These surfaces then release the heat at night to keep the building warm. Similarly, absorbent plates on a roof can heat liquid in tubes that supply a house with hot water.
Solar energy is lauded as an inexhaustible fuel source that is pollution and often noise free. The technology is also versatile. For example, solar cells generate energy for far-out places like satellites in Earth orbit and cabins deep in the Rocky Mountains as easily as they can power downtown buildings and futuristic cars.

The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those found in computer chips. When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity.
On a much larger scale, solar thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source. The heat is then used to boil water to drive a steam turbine that generates electricity in much the same fashion as coal and nuclear power plants, supplying electricity for thousands of people.
In one technique, long troughs of U-shaped mirrors focus sunlight on a pipe of oil that runs through the middle. The hot oil then boils water for electricity generation. Another technique uses moveable mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a collector tower, where a receiver sits. Molten salt flowing through the receiver is heated to run a generator.
Other solar technologies are passive. For example, big windows placed on the sunny side of a building allow sunlight to heat-absorbent materials on the floor and walls. These surfaces then release the heat at night to keep the building warm. Similarly, absorbent plates on a roof can heat liquid in tubes that supply a house with hot water.
Solar energy is lauded as an inexhaustible fuel source that is pollution and often noise free. The technology is also versatile. For example, solar cells generate energy for far-out places like satellites in Earth orbit and cabins deep in the Rocky Mountains as easily as they can power downtown buildings and futuristic cars.

China Is Leading the Global Solar Revolution

A new report by the IEA documents the rapid expansion of solar power generation around the world and notes China's current dominance of the market.
To subscribe to DeSmog Youtube videos click here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/DesmogBlog?sub_confirmation=1
The growth of solar energy continues to outpace forecasts and this growth, according to a report published today by the International Energy Agency, “is a China story.”
While China today is far and away the global leader in solar generation, a decade ago, the country had just 100 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed. That’s nothing. For reference, it’s actually less than is currently installed in the city of San Antonio. By the end of 2016, China had increased its solar PV capacity by nearly 800 times, with more than 77 gigawatts currently installed.
China’s solar dominance is only going to keep growing, according to the IEA report. As Dr. Paolo Frankl, one of the lead authors on the report, said on a call to reporters, “In one year, China will install the equivalent of the total history of solar development in Germany.”
The stunning growth trajectories reflected in the IEA report show how quickly the transition to renewables can surge when aggressive policies cut through the barriers to growth.
The Renewables 2017 report takes a deep dive into renewable energy deployment across all industries and throughout the world, but the dominance of solar PV stands out. As a whole, renewables represented nearly two-thirds of new electricity capacity additions last year, far outshining coal and natural gas growth. For the very first time, solar PV additions grew faster than any other resource, surpassing coal growth.

WASHINGTON — America’s growing reliance on solar power may have created a new enemy for environmentalists — a greenhouse gas that’s thousands of times more potent than CO2.
According to data recently released by the U.S.Environmental
Protection Agency, carbon dioxide makes up 82 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The gas nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, accounts for only a small margin, but is on the rise.
Overall emissions fell by 2.2 percent, and CO2 has risen only 5.6 percent from 1990 to 2015. Levels of NF3, however, have seen a 1,057 percent increase over those same 25 years.
This exponential rise has been linked to the manufacturing sector, which uses the chemical to make solar panels, semiconductors and LCDs.
NF3 is mainly used as a cleaning agent to clear away excess silicone. The gas is mostly eliminated during use, but a small percentage is reportedly leaked into the atmosphere.
It’s unclear exactly how much has been leaked, but scientists warn that NF3 is highly effective at trapping heat, and can remain in the atmosphere for up to 740 years.
Scientists warn that NF3, when combined with CO2 and other greenhouse gases, could lead to a climate problem, especially with the emissions rising not only in the U.S., but in growing solar markets in Asia as well.
With carbon dioxide proving difficult to limit, environmentalists could soon target NF3 in their quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Inside roll-to-roll CIGS thin film manufacturing with Global Solar

Global Solar has developed a proprietary process for manufacturing thin-film copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) PV cells and modules. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells that are rigid and fragile, Global Solar's steel-foil thin-film cells are lightweight and durable and can be integrated into both flexible and glass modules. The company's unique roll-to-roll fabrication process, now in volume production ramp, has garnered a great deal of interest and curiosity. While other companies deposit CIGS on glass substrates, Global Solar may be the only company with CIGS on flexible materials in actual production.
CIGS has a higher conversion efficiency than other thin-film PV materials and has the potential to deliver more electricity at a lower cost per watt. The material can also be integrated in a variety of form factors, from small PV chargers to building-integrated systems and large solar farms.
Tim Teich, VP at Global Solar, talks about the benefits of the roll-to-roll manufacturing process and the company's plans for the future. Global Solar is following an ambitious roadmap to achieve 13% efficiency from its modules within the next few years and to reach 170 MW of CIGS production capacity by 2010 at its main factory in Tucson, AZ, and new site in Berlin.

Mass production

Global Solar Energy opened in 1996, and in 2008 finished another phase of development as it expanded its CIGS production to a new 40 MW facility in Tucson, Arizona and a second 35 MW facility in Berlin, Germany.

The company expects to produce 20 megawatts of the films at the plant in 2008 before ramping up to 40 megawatts of capacity in 2009 and 140 megawatts by 2010. This makes Global Solar the largest full-scale manufacturer of CIGS thin-film photovoltaics.

Renewable Apartment - How I installed a Solar Panel in my bedroom window

It is unusual to install a solar panel in a window. It is not the most ideal location but if you are limited on options then this may be the way to go. Keep in mind that you may not get the full output of the rate of the panel.
Seek a qualified electrician if you are unsure what you are doing. Also make sure you are allowed to install this in your building if you do not own it.
I will not be responsible if you break your windows, hurt or kill yourself or someone else in the process. Never leave an open window untended. Music: http://www.purple-planet.com

Solar Factory in China Trip

In 2010, I went on an extended tour of China to several solar manufacturing plants and facilities. This is a compilation of those tours. The main owners of the solar panel factories were giving me the tours.
I was able to see how photovoltaic panels (PV) were manufactured as well as solar thermal panels.
Here is my DIYSolar and Wind book that was published on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1508454310/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1508454310&linkCode=as2&tag=erilaysyoucha-20&linkId=URNF3DPORKY4M5YR
Barnes and Noble Nook version of my DIY Solar and Wind Book:

Many people have send me messages asking me about books or info on the panels that I used. This is a great book on Amazon that I would recommend you pick up to understand solar power (this is the 2013 edition and is great reading): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907670289/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1907670289&linkCode=as2&tag=erilaysyoucha-20
This is the Grape Solar Panel that I am particularly fond of (many people sending me messages):
